Very soon, the base's defense system would be activated!

By then, the base would self-destruct, and nothing would be safe.

"How much time do we have left?" Mubai asked Xinghe solemnly. Xinghe replied without taking her eyes off the screen, "Probably less than a minute!"

Mubai was shocked, they only had such a short amount of time left. His hands that held the helmet got tighter, he was ready to shove it onto Xinghe when the time came. Everyone else had moved to the spaceships. The base was huge, there was a hangar used to keep the spaceships, the spaceships were large and numerous enough to contain everyone from the base. These were the spaceships He Lan Yuan had prepared for his grand return to Earth. However, without his command, the barrier above the hangar could not be opened and the spaceships would not be able to lift off.
